Here's my idea of the best way to make a quick and simple card:
1) Find a super piece of DP (such as this slice of heaven...Basic Grey's June Bug).
2) Grab a sentiment stamp of your liking (love this one...did you know Herodotus is the "Father of History"? You can thank me later for this lil' bit of trivia!).
3) Include some plain ribbon (so as to not distract from the DP). For this one I chose organza so as to not cover those flowers!
4) Add some embellies (buttons, brads, eyelets, snaps, blings...maybe some small punched items)...keep those simple too!
5) Voila...you're done. Now wasn't that easy?
10 Peeps With Things to Say:
Exactly what I was trying to do before I obsessed. I have a three drawer Iris cart filled with scraps and crap and I try to use stuff from it (too lazy to go upstairs) and I did really well until it didn't balance so i cheated. bought a MM 4 pack of frame thingies and now will get four cards for 2 bucks. Works for me. Now just gotta get the sun to shine so I can photograph the cards I make at 3 AM.
BTW-I stopped buying Basic Grey as much as I love the DP, because they don't make it two sided. I only go two sided anymore. Since it tends to keep me from accumulating more scraps if I like both sides.
Love this card! Simplicity is the best!
OOO Girl I love this new Basic Grey paper and what a perfect way to use it!!! I think this is fabulous and the ribbon and added buttons, just perfect!
